"Little Man"

      I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk

我还记得曾在那街心广场的人行道上漫步

Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
    看着那些我根本不敢奢望的东西摆满了玻璃窗后的店铺

There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry
    那里有约翰森的五金店，有摩根的珠宝作坊

And the ol' Lee king's apothecary
    还有老李王家的药品铺

They were the little man
    他们是些小人物

The little man
    名副其实的小人物

I go back now and the stores are all empty
    如今我回来了，那些店铺都已经空人去楼空。

Except for an old coke sign dated 1950
    除了一块1950年的旧可乐招牌在风中摇摆。

Boarded up like they never existed

一些店铺用木板封得严严实实，恍如从未存在。

Or renovated and called historic districts
    剩下的改头换面，翻修成了所谓的名胜遗踪。

There goes the little man
    小人物来了。

There goes the little man
    小人物还在。

（Refrain）

Now the court square's just a set of streets

昔日的广场，如今只是一些平凡的街道

That the people go round but they seldom think
    人们在此来来往往，但很少想到是小人物

Bout the little man that built this town。

曾经将这座城镇建造

Before the big money shut em down
    之后，商业大亨们的到来，逼他们歇业潦倒

And killed the little man
    他们便这样杀了小人物。

Oh the little man
    可怜的小人物。

      He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
    他曾替你的车打气，他曾擦净了你的玻璃。

And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
    那一个寒冷的雨夜，他替你的公寓进行整饬修理。

The new store came where you do it yourself
    然后，新的商铺迁来，提供自助服务，日夜不息。

You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
    你可以在那儿买彩票，从货架上选购食品。

Forget about the little man

你忘了小人物。

     Forget about that little man
    忘了和他有关的一切。

He hung on there for a few more years
    他依然在那里坚持了几个年头，

But he couldn't sell slurpees
    但他卖不掉slurpee雪泥

And he wouldn't sell beer
    他也不会卖啤酒。

Now the bank rents the station
    如今银行把服务站租给了住在街那头的

To a man down the road
    伙计，

And sell velvet Elvis and

他卖猫王天鹅绒绘画
     Second-hand clothes
    和二手的衣服

There goes little man

小人物来了。

There goes another little man
    还不只一个。

     Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
    如今沿街商铺连成了拥挤的一片，

You can buy the world with just one trip
    走一遭就能买下整个世界，

And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
    特大号的东西总能省点钱

They don't even realize
    他们却没有意识到，

They're killin' the little man
    他们正在害死小人物

Oh the little man
    可怜的小人物

It wasn't long ago when I was a child
    童年离开我其实还不算遥远

An old black man came with his mule and his plow
    那时一个老黑人带着他的犁而来。

He broke the ground where we grew our garden
    他开垦了这片荒地，我们便能在这里建立了花园

Back before we'd all forgotten about the little man
    但是之后我们便忘记了小人物。

The little man
    小人物啊

Long live the little man
    祝你永生

God bless the little man

愿主保佑你，小人物

Thank y’all, I been singing this song for about few years, back in Nashville Tennessee and I know everybody there likes the song. And for all the little men that passed away, who built the town and brought all the fortune to us, and gave a lot of heritages we’re not gonna forget. To all the people we love, we remember, we are never gonna forget, we are forever debted to you, thank you.

希望大家喜欢！

论坛里似乎没有这首歌的伴奏，能否上传？

不错的演唱
话筒拾取的人声好象有比较重的齿音
副歌部分的和声是你自己唱的吗？做了怎样的后期处理？听起来不太舒服

呵呵,谢谢指教, 我把后期的和声去掉了, 再听听

这次的效果，您觉得好点了吗?
